================================================================
for electric rhythm part in the bridge, I get this:
the electric guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb MajorEb

Starting with that lick before the bridge, which would now be
< = stretch up
> = release back down
+ = hammer-on

e|-------------------------------------------|
BB|--14--14>--16>--14>------------------|
G+G|-----------------------------11------------|
D MajorD|-------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------|
(lick before bridge)

A augmentedA regular verse at that tuning would be:

A augmentedA|------------------------------2----2---2----8-----------|
E MajorE|--------------------------------------------------------|
 You look like      a perfect fit  etc.

That would be an arrangement to play electric guitar, tuned down 1/2 step,
all the way thru, just playing quietly until the bridge
